What Alex Murdaugh’s Judge Just Took Away From Him

Judge McCaslin denied Alex Murdaugh electronic access to the evidence in his own murder case. The defense wanted a laptop in his cell. The warden said no. The judge backed the warden. The compromise — a conference room where his attorneys can bring their devices — means every page of discovery Murdaugh reviews requires his legal team to be physically present.

Harpootlian told the court the defense has eight new expert witnesses who need half a year to prepare, a DNA sample under Maggie Murdaugh’s fingernails that needs independent testing, and first-responder transcripts that raise questions about who else was at the Moselle property that night. The prosecution says the state is ready. The judge set the retrial for April 5, 2027. Bob Motta breaks down whether the defense’s evidence access problem could turn into a strategic advantage — or a reason to push for delay. Tony Brueski and Bob Motta.
